rHF PACIFIC RAILROADS IN
yESTI6ATION.

The New York Herald says there was
no end of pith and point in the testi'
mouy taken on the SOth ult. by the IA
ci6c Railroads Commission.
Colonel Reih proved a particularly
lively witness. He presented very fore
ibly the manner in which the corporation
under investigation have ridden rough
shod over law and justice, over the Acts
of Congress and the rights Of individuals,
relying-and thus far successfully-upon
their pecuniary and political power tor
immunity.
The commission was reminded thas
Congress granted bonds and lands on the
assumption that the stock OF the roads
should be sold, not given away, and he
suggested that it is not too late to see
that the shares are paid for. Another
point made was that the moneys dis.
bursed for dividends on these shares for
which no money was ever paid would
pay the principal Of the debt TO the Gov.
eminent.
Altogether Colonel Reifs testimony
was very "meaty" and suggestive.
Gould's counsel, ex.Judge Dillon, began
what was apparently intended to be a
prolonged and subtle dissemination,
with the object Of eliciting that the wit
ness had an animus against Gould and
the Union Pacific Company. His fine.
spun web was useless, however, for Col.
onel Reiff FASTENED to ayow that he had
such animus and to give the reasons for
it-that the Union Pacific had by ar
exertion of brutal power sorely injured
him and that Jay Gould had robbed him.
Such frankness is certainly ~disconcert.
ing, and it is not strange that Lawyer
Dillon dropped such a queer witness as
he would a hot stove.

Sudden Transformation.

A story comes from Cleveland, Ohio, Of
a very pretty young lady having been sud-
denly transformed into an old woman.
She was with her bethrothed, visiting an
electric light establishment. A broken
wire of her hustle had worked through her
dress unperceived, and while passing along
the wire came in contact with one Of the
resting on an iron bar at the time COM
pleted the circuit, and she received a shock
from the effects of which she has grown
within a week to be an old.looking woman
with a harsh, cracked voice and peevish
and irritable disposition. Her hair is
white and she is nearly deaf.
